Chapter 31
Alaria:
“MAMA!” I jumped as I heard Alonso screaming out loud. Ashton, who was listening to his bedtime story, frowned in confusion.
“Mama, what’s going on?” Ashton asked, letting me know that me hearing it wasn’t only because I was a wolf. Alonso’s voice was very loud.
“I’m not sure, but let me go and check.” I said, nodding at Cecilia. “Please stay with him. I’ll be back shortly.”
I ran out of the room and followed his voice as he cried in his sleep.
Two maids rushed inside already, and my eyes widened at his sight as he was sweating, trying to run in his sleep.
“Get me a glass of water,” I said, looking at the maids. One of them nodded, and I wrapped an arm around the boy, waking him up as I shook him gently.
He gasped, waking up, and my eyes widened when he looked at me. I cupped his cheeks, making him look at me.
“Where…?”
“It was just a bad dream.” I said, keeping my eyes on his. The maid ran inside with the water glass, and I handed it to him, allowing him to drink. “You were sweating, you need to drink.
water.”
“I was scared. He was going to hurt me, I had to run.” He said, shaking his head as he gulped. He shakily wrapped his hand around the glass of water, and it wasn’t until the door barged opened, revealing a panicked Katherine, that he jumped, almost dropping the glass. if I wasn’t holding it with him.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SON?” She yelled, taking me off guard. I stayed quiet, looking at the boy whose eyes widened before he flinched when his mother approached us. She grabbed me by my shoulder, wanting to turn me around, and I let out a warning growl.

Her voice made her son’s eyes widen and fill with tears. He closed his ears, and that was when Enzo reacted, grabbing her by her shoulders, pulling her back from me. I went to turn to her son, wanting to comfort him when my heart dropped at the fear that he was in. The boy had pissed his own self while Katherine was still fighting Enzo to get to me.
“Can one of you girls prepare a warm bath?” I asked, not bothering to even turn around as I looked at them over my shoulder. “How about we get you cleaned up? Then if you want, you can come and sleep in Ashton’s room? It’s a big bed, and I sure that he wouldn’t mind.”
“Who are you to decide what you want to do…?”
“Yes, please.” He said, stopping his mother. His eyes were fixed on mine, and I nodded, knowing that scolding him wasn’t going to do us any good right now. I went to remove the blanket from over his body, but he was too embarrassed as he tightened his grip around the duvet, stopping me.
Katherine froze, no longer saying a word as she saw me nodding in assurance. Her son didn’t even look at her. His eyes were fixed on me, and I smiled.
“Do you want me to close my eyes? You can run to the bathroom. I am sure the maids already have it ready for you.” I said, keeping a calm expression as I smiled at the boy. Hist eyes studied my face, allowing himself to understand whether or not I was being serious. I had seen and interacted with him twice until now. And the last one was him trying to play with Ashton, but after what happened at the ceremony, my son was somewhat hesitant.
It wasn’t until I interfered that he was willing to share.
Flashback:
“Now, now, what did mama say about sharing?” I asked, smiling at the two boys.
